With toil worn hands, the liberty they

Though torn with grief o'er loved ones
'neath the sod,
They faltered not, but rendered thanks to
God.
We reap in joy that which they sowed in
tears,
And glean the harvest through the fleet­ing

The freedom whioh they bought is ours
to-day-
Freedom to think, to speak, to act, to
pray.
O men and women, brave to dare and do,
Fain would we emulate your virtues

And to the God ye worshipped we would

Our hearts and voices in a hymn of

^
Theodore Roosevelt, president of tie
United Slates, Henry Roberts, governor
of Connecticut, and the. governors of
other Btates, have issued their prnrlani*-
tion appointing Thursday, Nov 80,' 1905,
as a day of thanksgiving. The proclama
tions have been published and the public
has been making evefy preparation for
the proper observance of the day. In
no part of this country has this an­nual
event been more sacredly observed
than in old New England. The home­coming
of children to the parental roof is
proverbial.
In cities, as well as in the country
towns, Thanksgiving day is looked upon
as the one day in the year, above all
others, when one recounts the occasions
for Thanksgiving. Special-religioun ser­vices
are always held, and the bill of fare
for the Thanksgiving dinner includes in
part turkey, duck or chicken, chicken
pie. cranberry sauce, pumpkin and mince
pie, to say noihing of cake in variety.
The recounting of reasons for thanksgiv­ing
is most proper and appropriate. The
farmers have garnered their crops, the
general piiblio has been prospered; and if
we obey the words of that hymn, "Count
your many blessings, name them one by
one," we can but find special reasons for
a true observance of this Thanksgiving
event.
A man attii'ed in bis night-olothes had
rushed to the fire-alarm ~ box and pulled
in the' alarm. The bell in the tower
slowly tolls off the number—one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven—a pause-one,
two, three, four, five, six —76
Hastily consulting the fire alarm oode,
the box was located at the corner of
Pearl street and Maple avenue. It was 8
o'clock Monday morning, the hour when
people are known to be sleeping the most
soundly. The bell repeated itself the
usual four times, and before the sounds
had died aw ay firemen apd neigjabotp
were on the ^ne;^nd pifr^i|r^
of -water .were soon playing upon the
flames.
Near-by residents bad no need to count
the alarm, the bright glow of the flames,
as they leaped into the air, shedding a
brightness that told of the danger to life
an attio, all lent fuel to' the flanges and
of the large building was a roaritfg fur-n&
ce. The flames lit the sky'brilliantly,
and the burning embers bhowered upon
adjoining buildings.
The block was occupied by four fami­lies,
and neighbors knew that two of the
attic rooms were occupied as sleeping
apartments by women. Deep consterna
tion and anxiety prevailed until it was
definitely known that all the tenants
were safely out of the burning building,
though some escaped attired only in such
garments as they oouild hastily clothe
themselves in. Nor was it possible for
the tenants to remove other of their
household effects that they specially
valued. The tenants of the block were
Mrs Jane Gourley and daughter, Miss
Eliza Gourley, dressmakers, Miss Mary
A< McCormack, dressmaker, Samuel: G
Brown of the firm of Klein, Brown &
Co., and Harry Thrall, tt was the wife
of the latter who discovered the fire, and
her brother, Hugo McCarthy, who rung
in the alarm.
The response of the fire department was
highly oreditable, neighbors affirming
that it was only three minutes from the
sounding of the alarm until a line of hose
was laid. The location of the south-end
hose house gave that oompany some ad­vantage,
but the arrival of the other com
panies was but little later. Chief Hines,
realising the seriousness of the fire, gave
orders, before leaving the engine-house,
for the entire department, with steamer
No 1, to turn out, at the same time dis­patching
a bioyolist for the driver, who
was found to be already on the way
Effeotive work was done by the Hose
companies and the Hook and Ladder
oompany in holding the fire well in check
until the more powerful stream from the
steamer, through a line of more than 700
feet of hose, was brought -to bear upon
the flames.
^ Duringjihis time neighbors and others
so far as possible, effects belpnging to the
tenants on the lower floor. As the flames
were subdued, articles from the- upper
apartments were also removed, and whiie
the damage by fire and water will be
large, and while some losses can never be

computed in money value or fully c«v
ered by insurance, yet the tenants »nd
the public oan but feel truly thankful
that human life wan not sacrificed.
With one exception the tenants of the
block carried insurance. Mrs Gourlie,
whose apartments suffered the most, car­ried
insurance of $1,000, in two policies
of $500 each, through the agencies of D.
& H. K Brainard and John K Bissland;
Miss McCormack carried insurance of
$600, through the agency of William J.
Hughes: Samuel G. Brown $500, through
the agency of Klein, Brown & Co. Harry
Thrall carried no insurance. His most
serious damage, as also that of Mr Brown,
coming from water and natural injury to
effects so hastily removed. Mr Thrall's
wife bad been in poor health for some
time, aud while she was prostrated yes­terday,
she is reported as quite comfort
able to-day. A pleasant feature in this
connection is that at the packing-house
of H. S. Chapman & Co. in Suffield,
where Mr Thrall is employed, a purse ef
$40 was made up and presented to him
Tuesday. Mr and Mrs Thrall are boarding
for the present on Pleasant street. Mrs
Gourley and daughter have been torn
porariiy given a home with Rev D- Russ
Judd, and Miss McCormack has taken
rooms at William Carson's over W. T.
Watson's market Mr and Mrs Brown
and son are at the home of Mrs Brown's
parents in Somers. A. H. Brainard car
ried insurance for $8,000 on the building
His loes is easily estimated as exceeding
that amount. t kt ' .
The condition of tli-3 building as it
standis to day teethe best of .testimony to
the efficient work of the local fife depart­ment,
and each man can feel that the
part he took in the work was fully appre­ciated.
Chief Hines, in referring to the
fire, said that he could not help being

With toil worn hands, the liberty they

Though torn with grief o'er loved ones

They faltered not, but rendered thanks to

We reap in joy that which they sowed in

And glean the harvest through the fleet­ing

The freedom whioh they bought is ours

Freedom to think, to speak, to act, to

And to the God ye worshipped we would

Our hearts and voices in a hymn of

^
Theodore Roosevelt, president of tie
United Slates, Henry Roberts, governor
of Connecticut, and the. governors of
other Btates, have issued their prnrlani*-
tion appointing Thursday, Nov 80,' 1905,
as a day of thanksgiving. The proclama
tions have been published and the public
has been making evefy preparation for
the proper observance of the day. In
no part of this country has this an­nual
event been more sacredly observed
than in old New England. The home­coming
of children to the parental roof is
proverbial.
In cities, as well as in the country
towns, Thanksgiving day is looked upon
as the one day in the year, above all
others, when one recounts the occasions
for Thanksgiving. Special-religioun ser­vices
are always held, and the bill of fare
for the Thanksgiving dinner includes in
part turkey, duck or chicken, chicken
pie. cranberry sauce, pumpkin and mince
pie, to say noihing of cake in variety.
The recounting of reasons for thanksgiv­ing
is most proper and appropriate. The
farmers have garnered their crops, the
general piiblio has been prospered; and if
we obey the words of that hymn, "Count
your many blessings, name them one by
one," we can but find special reasons for
a true observance of this Thanksgiving
event.
A man attii'ed in bis night-olothes had
rushed to the fire-alarm ~ box and pulled
in the' alarm. The bell in the tower
slowly tolls off the number—one, two,
three, four, five, six, seven—a pause-one,
two, three, four, five, six —76
Hastily consulting the fire alarm oode,
the box was located at the corner of
Pearl street and Maple avenue. It was 8
o'clock Monday morning, the hour when
people are known to be sleeping the most
soundly. The bell repeated itself the
usual four times, and before the sounds
had died aw ay firemen apd neigjabotp
were on the ^ne;^nd pifr^i|r^
of -water .were soon playing upon the
flames.
Near-by residents bad no need to count
the alarm, the bright glow of the flames,
as they leaped into the air, shedding a
brightness that told of the danger to life
an attio, all lent fuel to' the flanges and
of the large building was a roaritfg fur-n&
ce. The flames lit the sky'brilliantly,
and the burning embers bhowered upon
adjoining buildings.
The block was occupied by four fami­lies,
and neighbors knew that two of the
attic rooms were occupied as sleeping
apartments by women. Deep consterna
tion and anxiety prevailed until it was
definitely known that all the tenants
were safely out of the burning building,
though some escaped attired only in such
garments as they oouild hastily clothe
themselves in. Nor was it possible for
the tenants to remove other of their
household effects that they specially
valued. The tenants of the block were
Mrs Jane Gourley and daughter, Miss
Eliza Gourley, dressmakers, Miss Mary
A< McCormack, dressmaker, Samuel: G
Brown of the firm of Klein, Brown &
Co., and Harry Thrall, tt was the wife
of the latter who discovered the fire, and
her brother, Hugo McCarthy, who rung
in the alarm.
The response of the fire department was
highly oreditable, neighbors affirming
that it was only three minutes from the
sounding of the alarm until a line of hose
was laid. The location of the south-end
hose house gave that oompany some ad­vantage,
but the arrival of the other com
panies was but little later. Chief Hines,
realising the seriousness of the fire, gave
orders, before leaving the engine-house,
for the entire department, with steamer
No 1, to turn out, at the same time dis­patching
a bioyolist for the driver, who
was found to be already on the way
Effeotive work was done by the Hose
companies and the Hook and Ladder
oompany in holding the fire well in check
until the more powerful stream from the
steamer, through a line of more than 700
feet of hose, was brought -to bear upon
the flames.
^ Duringjihis time neighbors and others
so far as possible, effects belpnging to the
tenants on the lower floor. As the flames
were subdued, articles from the- upper
apartments were also removed, and whiie
the damage by fire and water will be
large, and while some losses can never be

computed in money value or fully c«v
ered by insurance, yet the tenants »nd
the public oan but feel truly thankful
that human life wan not sacrificed.
With one exception the tenants of the
block carried insurance. Mrs Gourlie,
whose apartments suffered the most, car­ried
insurance of $1,000, in two policies
of $500 each, through the agencies of D.
& H. K Brainard and John K Bissland;
Miss McCormack carried insurance of
$600, through the agency of William J.
Hughes: Samuel G. Brown $500, through
the agency of Klein, Brown & Co. Harry
Thrall carried no insurance. His most
serious damage, as also that of Mr Brown,
coming from water and natural injury to
effects so hastily removed. Mr Thrall's
wife bad been in poor health for some
time, aud while she was prostrated yes­terday,
she is reported as quite comfort
able to-day. A pleasant feature in this
connection is that at the packing-house
of H. S. Chapman & Co. in Suffield,
where Mr Thrall is employed, a purse ef
$40 was made up and presented to him
Tuesday. Mr and Mrs Thrall are boarding
for the present on Pleasant street. Mrs
Gourley and daughter have been torn
porariiy given a home with Rev D- Russ
Judd, and Miss McCormack has taken
rooms at William Carson's over W. T.
Watson's market Mr and Mrs Brown
and son are at the home of Mrs Brown's
parents in Somers. A. H. Brainard car
ried insurance for $8,000 on the building
His loes is easily estimated as exceeding
that amount. t kt ' .
The condition of tli-3 building as it
standis to day teethe best of .testimony to
the efficient work of the local fife depart­ment,
and each man can feel that the
part he took in the work was fully appre­ciated.
Chief Hines, in referring to the
fire, said that he could not help being
